How to make your own frame bag for bikepacking

[@jurajaryn5510]

viděl jsem tohle video jako novinku před 11lety, už tehdy jsem si říkal, že si taky ušiji brašnu, tohle video bylo pro mě takový vstup do šití, od té doby jsem si ušil několik brašen, rád se sem vracím

[@jaspreetsidhu5708]

I actually saw this and my mom and I are now working on making a frame bag as well as a top tube bag. Thanks for posting.

[@DenverSantaBarbara]

Wow. That was incredible. I wish I had the skills to put together such quality work.

[@coocookachoo2806]

Very nice, thanks for sharing. Obviously 20 professional seamstresses disliked this video because they could do a much better job but forgot to make a video of it.

[@theBidon]

Awesome video.. i remember watching this years ago and created my own bike frame bag shortly after it. Best video on youtube.

[@kennethcolbert2170]

Thanks for making this video it help me out a lot and let me make my own frame bag's for my Big Dummy.This was only the start of making all of my bag's.The internet rock's for me.Thanks again for this well done video.

[@Bubbleb2]

Thanks for the bluegrass in the background. I also listen to bluegrass music when I sew!

[@bewaretheintertubes]

Dude. I just stumbled onto this video. I really have no interest in making one but your video was so well made I just sat and watched the whole thing. Good job man. Well done

[@RobSimmons654]

Used your video and made one for myself. Love it. After a bikepacking trip I had no regrets except that i wished I had tapered the bottom corner of the bag. The cogs on the crank caught it every once in a while and made a small hole. Thanks for the instructions!

[@samrobley]

Solid tip here! Was wondering exactly this

[@alexandrahubner6736]

Still the best video on how to sew a frame bag. Wow.

[@darrellbeer1]

Thanks for the great video. I made two for mine and my wife's Surly Lht bikes. We are both adventure cyclist and these are just what we needed.

[@pgalipeau]

Thanks for this video! Watched it a few years ago and finally used it (along with a few other resources) to sew a bag for my 2017 Kona Unit! Cheers from Ottawa Canada!

[@greenwater780]

Awesome, thanks Paul. Ride on!

[@pedallinraw]

You sure make it look easy! Nice bag! Waterproof zippers too ! Fantastic!

[@andrea-mazzilli]

YIOU ARE A GENIUS! i was searching for one frame bag and i found not cheaper than 160$ !!!!!!! thank you so much!

[@KemDIY]

Awesome! Just bought a bag off your site. Which is incredible by the way. Seamless experience.

[@Mswayward]

Good design, good execution, good bag. GOOD JOB!!

[@sdragnut]

Great Video!! Thanks so much for showing how its done. Making one for my road bike. Bought a cheap ripstop backpack from walmart for 10 bucks, cut it apart and make the size/shape I want. Thanks again!!! Well done!!!

[@robertdzm]

you are very good, I like when people do something on their own. job well done.

[@brodyforster1119]

That is one hell of a good job Sir!

[@fishmut]

Oh boy I need some sewing lessons lol, awesome job looks great and very practical. 👍

[@EndUser-yu7gg]

well if your school still has Home Ec ... that is always a neglected elective now being eliminated from schools.... no idea why as that is very useful ... much like wood shop!

[@aaronmathias6739]

Holy smokes!!! That is an awesome creation mate!!! I would buy it hands down :-)

[@buckroger6456]

Yo that came out really good. I'll need to make a nice custom half frame bag myself. Thanks for the video.

[@RogerBY]

I had made a smaller frame bag about 2yrs ago thats still serving me well ...and I had used the materials from an old piece of black luggage we were throwing out anyway. Including the zipper, final COST was $0 dollars and about 2-3 hrs of my time.

[@terracoilGuy]

Good idea MadCow

[@ptocknell]

Great idea. What kind of needle did you need for sewing machine?

[@DerrickPerrin]

Your bag looks sharp. Thanks for sharing the build.

[@k1zmt]

You nailed it, Dude! Good job for real!

[@andydelarue9344]

10 out of 10 . Well done and thanks for sharing and making look so easy.

[@kelseydeer]

awesome video! im gonna try and make my first bike bag this was super helpful!

[@jimbojet8728]

That’s a superb bag. Well done.

[@ARCUS1200]

Amazing framebag! I just bought it as finished product for 39 euros because it was cheaper compared to making it myself (with tools that are needed to sew it).

[@OpelWagenGt]

Very nice work looks super professional!

[@Francisco.Rizzuti]

SOUNDTRACK: Ray LaMontagne. Very detailed job! (bag and video). thnx!

[@theinsainio]

You make it look so easy.

[@donsjuand]

Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

[@RyanHicksComedy]

I think you did a marvelous job on that bag. I live in Colorado and would love to hire you to make me a bag if possible.

[@ickeausberlin36]

In the description you can find he has a business now at bedrockbags.com.

[@Colorado220]

Great job, I hope to get some bikepacking in this summer also!

[@hughs1866]

sweet build mate, looks great!

[@camelCase1-f5l]

Awesome video, thanks. What kind of thread do you use on the machine?

[@chandankarkera9193]

Awesome video, and thanks for sharing! Can someone please let me know what kind / model of sewing machine will work for such projects? I'm totally new in this.

[@Dave51262]

That came out really great! It is an advanced project though. Any tips (sites, videos, etc) for where a beginner should start out?

[@OscarMartinezNYC]

This is pretty dope! Thanks for making a video... I hope to try making one in the near future.

[@ButterfLynnHi]

I love it when men can sew. That turned out great. Good job! =0)

[@bignose880]

Its a power tool. Just like the vacuum cleaner.

[@3m0k1d4evr]

Jeff MacDonald Clever.

[@Krantzopal]

Awesome! Looks like rocket science to me tbh

[@Tasi78]

Great work👍

[@griinder]

Looks great!

[@recycla7061]

Why do you sew a paracord line on the zipper? Awesome 😊 job. Thanks.

[@greenwater780]

It gives you something to pull on so you can close the zipper. This is not something that is really necessary because as long as you position one of your velcro straps that mount the bag to the frame behind the zipper it will close just fine.

[@CanRau]

don´t know if i´m going to make one some day, but it´s really a great thing!!

[@DIYBrew]

Very nice.... where did you get the waterproof zipper?

[@katarinazgraja1119]

Thanks for this super helpful video! Love the cool little loop you added to help to open and close the zipper. Did you also buy this from Rockywoods?

[@thorsten888]

Great, thank you very much. Will do one myself in the upcoming weeks.

[@alvaropppp]

Fantastic tutorial!

[@Newova5]

It looks great! So how has this worked out, would you build it the same if you made it again?

[@nirklir]

,Thatks alot , very helpful , do you think you can make a saddle bag?

[@dalethebelldiver7740]

I built the same design but added an outside pocket and rain flap to cover the zipper and my added pocket I didn’t make mine fill the entire triangle. I brought mine down about 11 inches. I also added reflective material on the sides just to highlight the bike in traffic,

[@CodingToFreedom]

Aesome work! I am making my own right now out of old inner Tube and an old tire for the side wall, i hope it Turnus out as good as yours

[@peterboesgaard9719]

You sewed the two panels together with the divider. In the next scene the panels are separeted.... I don't understand? In which order did you fix the divider with the panels?

[@cicloproposito9192]

Very neat and detalied!!

[@JeffOehlsen]

Nice one ! Thanks for the cool video.

[@TLauriks]

which sewing machine did you use for this?

[@katherinegluszek590]

turned out awesome!

[@gonewalkabouts]

Thanks a really helpful video that will stand test of time !!

[@hlobend2111]

any links to materials vendors that you purchase your supplies from? Thanks.

[@PrincessPea1]

Everyone remember to seal your seams!

[@kaichristiansen8110]

What would you suggest to seal it with?

[@bookmn0926]

awsome , I am going to add a couple of d rings and stoe a strap and also use it as a sling bag

[@sickunit2096]

Great job 👍🏼

[@albertarigger]

Well done, thanks for the video!

[@galaxyschneider]

Awesome! I wanna do this now!

[@StravaigingMTB]

Thats awesome, I'm going to scale down the idea so I can go packless on longer epic rides on my MTB, how do you carry water on this set up?

[@greenwater780]

I typically carry two water bottles mounted to the fork stanchions and a spare liter under the down tube with our Bedrock Bags Honaker pack.

[@mdmasukislam1002]

Wow, good work!

[@recycla7061]

How much fabric have you used?

[@OptimusSatanas]

Nice work.

[@MarkRyanAB]

Very helpful. Thanks for sharing this!

[@ronaldo77782]

Thank for sharing I am about to make my own ,did you use a special sewing machine ,or any would do?

[@pokerchannel6991]

I like bikepacking. In the desert, it is impt to carry a lot of water. So, if I were to make a pack, I would make it to carry hydration bladders for water.

[@robeasy13]

Nice job!

[@bikepacker1367]

I can't keep the xpac vx21 from curling up any ideas on keeping it flat

[@kansopgod]

Do you have any advies on how to sew the corners over the bag? I really struggle with them, especially when i sew on the back panel; The fabric in the corners will bunch up and get all crooked due to the tension. Btw nice bag

[@ifonlyiwerebelgian]

Who is the band playing at about 3.30?

[@junohuntington6921]

How many yards of ripstop material did you need for this bag? Thanks and this looks great by the way.

[@kansopgod]

How did you sew through the zipper teeth when you sewed on the trim piece?

[@markd5947]

excellent work. could i ask what Xpac fabric it was please. Thanks

[@greenwater780]

Thanks! That was VX-21 Slate Grey.

[@greenwater780]

VX-21 Slate Grey

[@caseylittel1742]

were you listening to Joy Kills Sorrow in this?

[@brunolibrelon2884]

GREAT WORK.... ;) WHICH MACHINE DO YOU USE?

[@greenwater780]

It is a Janome HD 1000. It's a good little machine.

[@iksnyzrog]

How many linear yards of the x-pac do you think you used for this bag?

[@leenewnham1638]

Great vid, what sewing machine do you use? Love to give it a try.

[@cosha13]

Thanks for Uploading :D That looks great!

[@pryzmcat]

Nice work mate:)

[@gregstone3291]

What machine are you sewing with here? Always thought I would need something industrial or the old heavy duty Singer. Nice work.

[@greenwater780]

It's a Janome HD1000. It does well for it's size. Good luck with your projects.

[@A3203503]

Top job.

[@FabioSpelta]

Totally amazing.

[@tjahjoprakoso1]

great video. thanks

[@Jace_Roams]

Not sure if you'll even see this, but what machine do you use? Looking for cheap options to be able to make some bags for myself. Possibly some friends too. Thanks for any reply!

[@greenwater780]

I used a Janome HD-1000. Great little machine. No contest for our commercial machines, but she will get it done!

[@TayTayChan]

I'm planning to try my hand on this, but with tarp material (like tent groundsail or ikea frakta bag). Do you think that would work?

[@logifinirator]

Do you have to seal the sewn seams for it to be waterproof?

[@EnjoiEmerica11]

yes

[@oleksandrsamoilenko2523]

which thread do you use?

[@tonyboreham8707]

Pretty damn good!

[@shwainchn8876]

Wow, looks amazing :-)

[@fumblies2]

very impressive

[@weler2491]

I think that it's important to seal the seam, with some glue.

[@JamesJLaRue]

I wish Leader still made mountain frames...

[@LaSignorinaS]

wow! bravo!
